I get the feeling that, no matter how hard we try to solve certain problems (like saving the environment), there will always be drawbacks to any proposed solution. To be painfully logical, I guess we just have to try and choose whatever has the most positive net effect: the solution with the highest degree of positives and the lowest degree of negatives. If I'm remembering correctly from my college ethics class, I think they call that utilitarianism.
